I too started having migrains after wls. I was told by my dr that it could be several different things. One of the main things that causes the headaches after wls is the fake sugars that we are getting into our systems with all the sugar free foods and stuff we are intaking. The fake sugars cause headaches, and can also cause diarhea...fun fun. As for the weight loss, I know it can be hard when you hit those plataues, but starving yourself is not the answer. By doing that, the first time that you actually do eat something, you body will hold onto every single calorie because you have been depriving it of what it needs. Try eating like 6 or 7 small meals thru out the day. try snacking on protiens (like jerky and nuts) just try switching things up. Hopefully this will help. I am one of the fortunate ones and havent really hit any major plataues yet. I am out 10 months and down 165 lbs. I had a LONG way to go though from the beginning. i started out at 420lbs...so I am greatful for any and all weight that I have lost so far. Just keep your head up and try to look at it this way. Even with all you have lost so far, your better off than where you were when this journey started. Dont get discouraged, it will come off eventually. Anita B 420/255/220 soon

Hi Amber, I can totally relate to what you are saying. I asked my surgeon this exact question, "What do I do when I'm done losing?" His answer was you live live. It's almost like you feel lost in a sense and don't know where to turn. You work so hard to have WLS and so hard to achieve your goals it's like you don't know what to do with yourself once your there are almost there. All I can say, is I guess you give back what was given to you, as far as support and being a mentor for others. As far as skin, I hear ya sister!!! I used to read the boards and think why are they complaining about lose skin at least they had the surgery. Well, I am here to tell you I now worry about skin issues too. I guess we will look forward to PS and then life the "American Dream" Good luck and if you figure out those answers or I do, I will let you know!!!! Gina

Congratulations on your weight loss! I am so thankful that I had my surgery also. I feel 110% better! Nancy 217/122/127 (-5 lbs below goal & 5 lbs away to join the century club, also)

Thanks Helen. I kept losing and gaining the same 5 lbs for the last 6 weeks. I didn't think I would ever get below 200 lbs, but I made it. Pam
